An error message appears when i open itunes  and itunes closes. wat to do??

when i try to open itunes, the error message "Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close" pops up and it doesn't show up on the screen. what sould i do to get itunes to work?

Okay ... that rules out a bunch of possibilities.
We could be looking at a damaged CoreFP.dll here. In that case, we might be able to get things working again by swapping out the dll. We'll take a few additional explicit precautions, just in case. probably best to print out a copy of these instructions, because at one point in proceedings you won't be able to use a web browser.
Download and save a fresh copy of the iTunes installer to your hard drive. (Don't run the install on line, and don't start the installation just yet.)
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Now head into your Add or Remove programs control panel. Uninstall iTunes.
Next, we'll remove leftover program files and folders.
In "My Computer", open Local Disk C: or whichever drive your program files are installed on.
Open the "Program files" folder.
Right-click on the "iTunes" folder (if it still existts) and select "Delete".
Open the "Common Files" folder.
Open the "Apple" folder.
Right-click on the "CoreFP" folder (if it still exists) and select "Delete".
Empty your Recycle Bin and restart the PC.
After the PC restarts, do not open any applications. Disconnect from your network and/or the internet. Now switch off all your security software (firewall, antivirus, antispyware).
Now start an iTunes install by doubleclicking on the iTunesSetup.exe file you downloaded earlier.
Reenable all security software prior to reconnecting to the internet and/or your network.
Does the iTunes reinstall go through okay? If so, does your iTunes start launching properly again?

  • HT201272 Keep getting error #499 when trying to download a song from an album I purchased that failed to download.  Error message appears when trying to download from iTunes and the cloud. Re-starting the computer did not help.

    I downloaded an album I purhcased a few days ago but one of the album's songs did not download.  I received an error message, #499, for which I can get no explanation or interpretation of what error #499 even is (other than generic terms).  All my efforts to re-start the download have failed.  I've tried several times to download the file to no avail, tried the cloud service to no avail, and re-started the computer to no avail.
    My main intention is to, of course, get the download completed.  My secondary intention is to, hopefully, bring to the attention of Apple - iTunes staff, the grossly inadequate, dare I say cryptic, error message descriptions iTunes displays. 
    I can provide the purchase receipt number if it is required.

  • After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes".  I cannot now access iTunes.  How can I resolve

    After having upgraded my MacBook to Snow Leopard, the following error message pops when I try to access iTunes: "The file iTunes Library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a new version of iTunes".  So, now after the upgrade, I cannot access iTunes.  How do I resolve this??
    Thanks

    zepel has it, but perhaps some more detail will help.
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore

    Installing the latest update on my iPad - error message saying the iPad couldn't synchronize because of an internal error, and then - error message (OxE8004017) when trying to save, and then (2003) when trying to restore - nothing works anymore - On my iPad the only thing I see is a connector cord to iTunes and nothing else.
    What can I do  ???

    Same issue for me, recently I started having issues with apps no longer being able to access my Facebook account. But the iPad Facebook account settings will not accept my password, even though the Facebook app and Safari can access my account fine. The only significant events I recall that have occurred that may have triggered this have been that via my Facebook account I killed off a lot of so called authorised connections and I changed my user name, but still have the same email address and password.
    I have tried just about every solution put forward on the net, short of a factory restore, back to new, on my iPad.
    I have also; deleted my iCloud account, deleted the Facebook app and account, deleted Safari data.
    One would think that after I have deleted my account from the iPad that it would ask for both username/email address and password, but it only asks for password, so the username is still stored somewhere that I am unable to delete.
    I also see that no one seems to have been able to get an answer from Apple. So I'm guessing they have absolutely no idea themselves.
    I am hesitant to put my username on Facebook back to what it was as Facebook only give you a few chances to change your username, then you are locked.
    I have iOS 7.1.1 installed.
    I did have a lot of respect for Apple and their devices as they just worked, but they are becoming tarnished by ignoring what seems to be a growing issue.

  • Error message firefox has encounted a problem and will close send don't send

    error signature code 0xc000000d flags 0x00000000
    When I go to the web I get this error message: Firefox has encountered a problem and will close send or don't send .When you click either it closes

    It's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and themes and [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+plugins this one] for plugins.
    If you need support for one of your add-ons, you'll have to contact its author.
    If the problem does not disappear when all add-ons are disabled, please tell me, so we can work from there. Please have no fear of following my instructions to the line, as all can be easily undone.

  • Why do I keep getting an error message (42404) when I open my itunes?

    I have tried numerous"fixes" for this and still get the same error message every time I open the itunes app.
    I have re-downloaded and installed the latest version of itunes.   I have re-installed Quicktime and then I tried to
    install an older version of Quicktime that someone said would fix it, with no success.  Itunes just keeps opening
    with the same error message: A required itunes component is not installed. Please repair or re-install itunes. (-42404)
    I'm afraid to connect my ipod Classic to it because I don't want it to mess up my music folders. 
    Any help with this issue would be appreciated.

    I'd like to thank all those that responed to my question.   Apple has lousy support and this forum is even worse.  Have a nice day and thanks for nothing.

  • Error message appears when selecting emailed link but there's no problem

    I upgraded to Firefox 7.0.1. Now, when I select an emailed link to a website, I always receive a General Failure error message indicating that Firefox can't reach the website. In the meantime, the thin red-light progress line appears and the website comes up fine. Thee error message appears consistently but there's rarely a problem reaching a website. Any suggestions on how to eliminate the error message?

    I'm responding to my own post. I checked the error messages more carefully and found that they are Microsoft Outlook generated and not Firefox. This could still be a Firefox problem but I thought I should point this out.

  • TS1424 I am receiving error message -3212 when trying to access the iTunes Store.  Does anyone know what this means?

    Not sure what to do about the error message I am getting.  Also, my itunes is not recognizing my phone when I plug it in.

    Just in case, let's try the following document:

  • Error message appear when I compile the HelloWorldImp.c in JNI tutorial

    I have followed the JNI tutorial to study JNI.
    When I followed 'Step 5: Create a Shared Library' to compile the HelloWorldImp.c, following error message appears:
    $gcc -g -I/usr/local/java/include -I/usr/local/java/include/solaris \

    What's the problem?

    gcc was trying to link your code into a runnable application. This is the default behaviour. Hence, it was looking for main() which is the entry point in a c/c++ application. By telling gcc to compile a shared library instead, with the -shared option, the linker did not try to produce a runnable program, and hence (that two hence's now, sorry) did not look for the main() function. Therefore (this is getting too formal!), there is no need to provide a main() function in a shared library.

Maybe you are looking for
